Powder Trap

Switch pigment powder colors in seconds with the Creative Alchemy Powder Trap. Designed with a special vault-style sponge inside a compact tin, it captures loose pigment instantly, letting you swipe your brush clean and move to the next color without water, mess, or downtime. Perfect for working with mica powders, pigments, and other fine mediums, it’s an essential tool for any mixed media artist.

Usage Instructions

1. Gently swipe your brush across the Powder Trap sponge to remove excess pigment.

2. Once clean, dip directly into your next pigment color — no water required.

3. After several uses, remove the sponge and wash thoroughly with Squid Buster or the Alchemy Brush Cleaner (coming soon).

4. Rinse well and allow the sponge to fully air dry before placing it back in the tin.

5. Keep the lid closed when not in use to protect the sponge and reduce mess.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep one Powder Trap for light pigments and another for darker or metallic shades to avoid cross-contamination and maintain pure, vibrant color shifts.
